As much as I love Vox's occasional silliness and how he gets a little pathetic and stupid around Alastor, I'd hate it if the fandom completely woobified him. Character woobification in general is one of my pet peeves, when people turn one half of the ship into a simpering stupid crybaby and the other into this unbothered infallible person who barely tolerates them. It's glazing one character at the expense of the other, and it's such a disservice to a pairing.
Radiostatic is compelling because they are pretty evenly matched in a multitude of ways. Vox's weakness for Alastor is his flaw, not his entire personality. He is smart, calculated, charming, and pretty scary sometimes. Even in life, Vincent was competent and charismatic and knew how to twist things to his advantage - dude was a whole ass cult leader ffs
Like yes, mans got issues, an ego that blinds him and he loses his mind when things don't go his way, but he isn't completely dependent on Alastor, despite how obsessed he is with him.
Alastor likes to make fun of Vox, but he DID acknowledge and respect him before, exactly because he understood Vox's potential. And he had no doubt Vox would be able to accomplish what Al needed him for. That takes conviction and trust.
I'd love for Vox to be obsessed with Al forever, bc its just so good, but I think we need to see him get over Alastor in S3 (not fully, just a little bit lol) so Al can have his "wait this is not how it's supposed to go, actually I NEED HIM AROUND" moment
// Aside from Alastor possibly “realizing he needs” Vox around (I think it would do nothing for his character development), this post is spot on. Vox was never a cutie pie, even when in love with Al. And he’s a cunning murderer, Al is the sloppy one.
Same for Lucifer btw, he’s cute but he’s still the oldest, strongest soul in Hell, not a wooby baby.
